Understanding Felix

"It's liquid luck," said Hermione excitedly. "It makes you lucky!"

1. In your own words, describe what ‘lucky’ means to you, giving one example. (10)

2. What prevents Felix Felicis working in the way we might expect? Draw upon one instance in HBP to back up your theory (10)

3. Discuss how Felix Felicis could work along side your instincts. (10)

4. Does Felix Felicis do what needs to happen to help your specific task, or does it do what is necessary to help everything turn out right in the end? Discuss (10)

5. Describe three parts in Half Blood Prince where Felix Felicis has been known to be used or could have been used. (15)

6. Ron believes that he has been given Felix before a quidditch match, therefore making him ‘lucky’ in his game. We later find out that the luck, or skill, came from inside of him. What is your understanding of how we make our own luck? Discuss! (15)

7. Hermione and Ron are given the task of watching Draco while Harry goes to the cave with Dumbledore. They take Felix to make them lucky, yet they still lose Draco. Is it possible that Draco was meant to have the conversation with Dumbledore on the Tower? Discuss why you believe that Felix did not help them catch Draco. (15)

8. It seems fitting that we discuss Severus Snape as he is the most likely to brew a potion of this kind. Discuss any instances where you believe Severus Snape could have used Felix Felicis and explain why you believe this. (15)

Bonus:According to Merriam Webster, ‘lucky’ has three definitions. What are they? (5)
